ABOUT ACTION AGAINST HUNGER
Action Against Hunger is the world’s hunger specialist and a
non-profit leader in a global movement that aims to end life-threatening
hunger for good. For over 40 years, the humanitarian organization has
innovated better ways to treat and prevent hunger. It serves more than
21 million people annually across 55 countries – with 7 countries within
the Horn and Eastern Africa Region including Tanzania. In Tanzania, the
organization was established in 2015 and has been intervening in the
areas of nutrition and health in Dodoma and Singida region supporting
the implementation of the National Multi-sectoral Nutrition Action Plan
in close association with the Ministry of Health, PO-RALG, and other
sector ministries as well as local government authorities.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Accelerating National Wasting Treatment Reform is a 12-month
project; with a focus on accelerating the adaptation of the new WHO
guideline on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional
oedema in infants and children under 5 years of age by the national
government in close collaboration with all stakeholders in the country
under the leadership of the Ministry of Health. The project is also
implemented in six other countries across Asia and Africa continents
namely Mauritania, Solomon Islands, Central Africa Republic, Ivory
Coast, PDR Laos, and Tanzania.
The project is expected to contribute to the 2020 Global Action
Plan (GAP) on child wasting through the acceleration of the delivery of
essential actions and the creation of a more enabling environment to
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets of reducing
wasting prevalence to less than 5% by the year 2025 and further reducing
wasting prevalence to less than 3% by the year 2030.
In July and November 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO)
issued a revised guideline on the prevention and management of wasting
and nutritional oedema in infants and children under 5 years of age. The
guideline provided 19 recommendations and 10 good practice statements
to tackle an expanded range of nutritional challenges that include four
areas of focus: infants less than 6 months of age at risk of poor growth
and development, moderate wasting in infants and children 6-59 months
of age, severe wasting and nutrition oedema from a child health
perspective. These recommendations, however, will only be able to save
lives once they are contextualized and incorporated into national
policies, guidelines, and strategies.
Action Against Hunger and other nutrition partners acknowledge
that the 2018 National Guideline for the Integrated Management of Acute
Malnutrition has been useful in supporting the treatment of acute
malnutrition, ensuring quality treatment among all wasted children
including children with nutritional oedema. The National Multi-sectoral
Nutrition Action Plan (NMNAP) II, addresses childhood undernutrition
holistically to save lives and further prevent underlying causes of
malnutrition across the life cycle. It is in this view that, Action
Against Hunger in collaboration with Ministry of Health take the
advantage of this opportunity to collaboratively contribute to the
government efforts to address childhood undernutrition through
facilitating adoption and contextualization of the WHO recommendations
and good practices into a national policy for implementation.
